Leaving Safe cove marina

[The_Sailing_Pelican]

Hi again guys
I need to know which chart and on what level of detail I need in order to sail safely a 1985 Pearson 303 with 4.5 feet of draft in the area out of south Gulf cove lock going into the Gasparilla sound and leaving to my left or behind me the Myakka river. Any advise, pearls of wisdom, anything you think I need to hear, know or pay attention too... Let me have it pls.
As always you'll are my Google, my book of knowledge, my brothers in arms... SALVE

I can't seem to navigate the morass of the "Chart 11426" government maze.
How do you open the chart?

Just my opinion, the new electronic charts and everything that goes with it is a clown show.

How do you open the chart?

Put 11426 in the search window in the upper right. Open the pdf (second item) that you see in the search results.

Kappy, The window in the "upper right" of what?
btw, my comment was referring to the chart link in the OP's post.

You can zoom in on the chart that's in the middle of the screen - it's 11426. Did some more exploring just now.

There’s also a small “download PDF” button on the bottom right that lets you save it for later.
